Thanks for the video, Lance. Quick question, I have an older boat with one battery by steering console and one back by the transom. Is it better to split the difference and mount my charger in the middle or pick one location close and run a longer connection to the opposite battery? Thanks.
Anytime bud! On that just pick a location and extend the charging wire. I do know some manufacturers make extension cables for their chargers. The one on my bass boat has that option. This is the charger I have on my ranger. www.dualpro.com it’s a good brand.
Hey Lance, I have a question on my G3 bass boat. When I hooked it up battery two is blinking a orange is yellowish color but it’s on the charging and number one battery is not blinking.
Get a volt meter and check each battery before you plug the charger in. Then plug in the charger and test it again. Either you’ve got a dead battery or the charger isn’t putting out on that particular port. I’ve actually had a bad charger one time and have bought a brand new bad battery before.
I’ve got the same charger. Do they lights always just blink or will they stay solid when full charged or what. I just got it and didn’t get a box or a Manuel so I’m just trying to figure it out and there no videos on how to read the display or operate this thing man. Prolly dumb questions I know but I’d sure appreciate a brief run down
Nice! It’s a good one! They’ll blink green then after a day or so it goes in to a “standby” mode where it will give the batteries a little trickle when it’s needed. The lights will be solid green when it’s in this mode if your batteries are all good. Just a quick rundown solid yellow is charging, twinkling green is charged, solid green is the stand by/trickle charge when needed and I believe red is bad battery or check battery. I’ve never had a bad battery yet but I’m 90% sure I’m right on that one.
Vert easy watching and learning, thank you so much...
Anytime! Glad I was able to help you out. Have a blessed one!
No smokes a good thing.🤣. Just picked up the MK 3150 awesome video. Thanks
😆😆😆 I had a buddy of mine smoke one before. He crossed a wire somewhere LOL! That’s awesome! You’ll love it! Anytime bud! Glad you enjoyed it.

Will 2 30amp fuses add up to be 60amps? Not sure if it work's that way
No sir that won’t work. It would have to be a 60 amp fuse.
@@lanceduff I didn't think so. Lol
@corysturgis6660 haha yes sir. They do have some 60 amp fuses. You can find them on Amazon along with fuse holders

how warm does that charger get while charging the batteries ??
It gets pretty warm. I make sure I charge during the cool hours of the mornings when I can and always charge it in the shade
once e u unplug the charger and u r out on the water how long does it hold te cahrge for
I’ve ran it from sun up to sun down and never went without power. Even at the end of the day it still felt full
Hey what size screws are you using to secure the charger?
I’m using 1/8th stainless sheet metal screws. Totally forgot to mention that at the start of the video. My apologies.
I just used self tapping screws put the charger in place where you want it and just screw it down
Those will work too. I like using sheet metal with a pilot hole.
